Blue Magic
1st-level Blue Magic feature
Starting at level 1, you gain the ability to copy abilities of other creatures, be they magical or just extraordinary, but not spells. You have 2 ability slots per spell level you can cast.
You can regain all ability slots at the end of a long rest, just as with spell slots.
Whenever you are subject to an active or passive ability of a creature, you can use your reaction to copy it, adding it to one of your ability slots if you have one free, or replacing one already learned, up to a maximum of 2 for that ability level.
Restrictions
You can only learn abilities from creatures of CR equal or lower than the ones in the table, using the corresponding ability slot. Your DM can restrict the ability copied if necessary, such as needing wings for a winged attack. You cannot copy Legendary or Lair actions.
| Spell level | Max CR / Sorcerer level |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 7 |
| 5 | 9 |
| 6 | 11 |
| 7 | 13 |
| 8 | 15 |
| 9 | 17 |
If the ability copied is a passive one, when you "cast" it, the duration is 8 hours, otherwise it uses the same "casting" duration as the original ability.
If the ability has a maximum number of uses, including once per turn, you can only use it once with that ability slot.
Any ability copied this way uses your Proficiency Bonus instead of the original creature, but still uses the corresponding orginal Ability, using your Modifier instead.
Pseudo Mimic
1st-level Blue Magic feature
You can unerringly mimic the speech pattern, accent and even the tone of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, enabling you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land, provided that you know the language, or even be heard just like that creature.
Twisted Engineering
6th level Blue Magic feature
You can use your metamagic options with your copied abilities, using whatever restriction that metamagic has.
Adaptative Mutation
6th level Blue Magic feature
Now you can use you Charisma Modifier instead of the original Ability of any copied ability.
Keen Cheater
6th level Blue Magic feature
Now you can copy any ability you see in used against any creature, provided you can see it within 30 feet of you, still using a reaction.
Master Copycat
14th level Blue Magic feature
You gain the following upgrades:
- Any pasive ability you use now lasts until your next long rest.
- You can copy any ability you can see been used, and it no longer uses your reaction.
- You can spend your sorcery points on abilities using your Flexible Casting sorcerer Feature.
Beyond your limitations
14th level Blue Magic feature
Once per long rest, you can copy the form and movement of any creature you see. You gain whatever movement speed and type of the creature whenever you copy any of its abilites. This transformation last until your next long rest. In addition, you can cast the spell Disguised Self at will without using a spell slot.
All for One
18th level Blue Magic feature
You learn the Shapechange spell. In addition, you can cast it at will once per long rest. If used this way, the spell doesn't use your concentration. Being transformed by effects like the Shapechange or Polymorph spells still lets you use your Blue Magic Feature.
